Chapter 142 - Cousins
Chapter 142: Cousins
Xia Xibei could tell that Yu Ziqi’s outfits weren’t ordinary ones.
Although she wasn’t exactly familiar with clothing and shoes, she knew that what he was wearing wasn’t cheap.
Furthermore, from the way he behaved very casually here, and the fact that he had almost spilled the beans, Xia Xibei deducted that this restaurant was owned by his family.
However, she did not think much of it. After all, his family background wasn’t the reason she had befriended him.
If not for Asura, she probably wouldn’t have crossed paths with him in the first place.
Very soon, the food was served.
They had to admit that despite the expensive price, the food was pretty impressive.
Although Xia Xibei and Tang Luo had just had their dinner a couple of hours ago, they tried the food despite not feeling hungry.
They chatted while enjoying the food, seemingly sharing quite a lot of common interests.
Asura and Honey were seated on either side of Xia Xibei, staring straight at her.
Ren Juncheng and Yu Ziqi were sitting beside their own pets, but sadly, their beloved pets were fully focused on Xia Xibei, not even sparing them a glance.
It wasn’t Xia Xibei’s fault that she was lovable, was it?
They were talking with delight and the cat and dog yelled every once in a while, making the entire scene fun-filled and lively.
All of a sudden, Yu Ziqi’s phone beeped.
“Sorry, I have a call to answer.”
Yu Ziqi answered the phone, “Cousin? I’m at Fantastic Taste… You’re here too? I’m eating with my friends. You wanna come over? Hold on…”
He held a hand over the phone’s microphone and asked, “My cousin wants to come over. Can he?”
“Why not?” Xia Xibei laughed. “Let him come over.”
“Alright,” Yu Ziqi nodded and told the other party, “Come over then! Reserved room no.3.”
Very soon, the door of the room was opened and a tall, stunning guy stepped in.
When she saw the guy’s face clearly, the look in Xia Xibei’s eyes changed subtly.
“Nie Zehai?”
“You know me?” Nie Zehai raised his brows in surprise.
“I saw you in dramas before.” Xia Xibei’s unfaltering smile remained. “Your acting is great. I like it.”
“Cousin, I can’t believe you have fans!” Yu Ziqi screamed in delight. “It seems like you really haven’t been wasting time!”
Nie Zehai patted his head with a smile, “When have I ever wasted time? I have a lot of fans okay! But this is the first time I have ever met such a gorgeous fan.”
Nie Zehai noticed Xia Xibei at first glance, right after he stepped in, and was stunned by her looks.
Beneath the mellow lighting, it seemed like Xia Xibei’s face was shrouded in a hazy, gentle glow, making her facial features seem much more delicate and impeccable.
Nie Zehai had been in the entertainment industry for a few years now. Although he wasn’t very famous, he had seen quite a lot of beauties.
However, beauties like Xia Xibei were few and far in between.
“Are you interested in becoming a celebrity?” he asked sincerely.
“Cousin!” Yu Ziqi snorted with displeasure. “Stop the nonsense! Do you think everyone wants to muck about in the entertainment industry like you do?”
Moreover, his words made him sound like a bad guy with ill intentions!
“Hey you brat! What are you talking about!” Nie Zehai was laughing out of anger and slapped his head again, except harder this time. “I just find this girl very pretty, that’s all. What do you think I’m trying to do?”
“Stop hitting me!” Yu Ziqi exclaimed in distaste and dodged his hand. “I’m gonna turn silly!”
“Don’t blame other people for your own silliness!” Nie Zehai responded by slamming him again, but with much lesser force.
Upon meeting the other three’s shocked gazes, only then did Nie Zehai come to his senses.
He blushed, explaining, “Sorry about that. We’ve always been fooling around like that, so I hope you don’t mind.”
